[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1117106: Bug#1117106: sight: (unnecessarily?) Build-Depends on dbus-x11 (dbus-launch)

[Flavien Bridault]

Dear Simon,

Thank you for reporting.

Indeed we don't run tests during build. I have no idea why we require 
this package, we don't rely on dbus directly. For me it was there to 
make the Debian build system happy or something like that.  I even 
wonder is dbus even required at all? I would have image it is a 
dependency of Qt but I can't find any trace, only the session managers.

So could help me understand if dbus-daemon or dbus-bin is required ?

Thanks,
